Berwyn Art Walk 2020

Exhibition Duration | August 24, 2020 – September 26, 2020

The Berwyn Public Art Initiative (BPAI) is hosting its first Summer Art Walk in Berwyn’s Historic Depot District. The windows of businesses along the Depot District are coming alive with color, creativity, and inspiration from a curated collection of artworks by various visual artists. Artwork is displayed all along Stanley and Windsor Avenues within business windows facing the sidewalks, which will allow for a safe social distancing stroll through the Depot District while discovering local talent.

The goal of the Berwyn Art Walk is to provide residents an experience of art and culture, engage local businesses, and support the art community.

Please utilize the interactive Google map listing all business locations and exhibiting artists at each location.

BPAI will facilitate art sales from this exhibition.
